The boy who served us was nice but the food was undewhelming. Octopus was good but the Veal with tuna sauce tasted of a tuna sandwich. The pizza sauce lacked key ingredients tasting almost as if they used canned/jar sauce from supermarket. The pasta was swimming in a pool of oil/water. Not very pleasant
Davisto • Owner
Cher client, nous sommes désolés de lire votre avis, même si nous ne partageons pas vos remarques. Le vitello tonnato que nous proposons respecte la recette traditionnelle piémontaise, avec une sauce à base de thon, câpres et anchois — ce n’est pas un “sandwich au thon”, mais un plat emblématique de la cuisine italienne. Concernant notre pinsa, aucune sauce industrielle n’est utilisée : tout est préparé maison avec des ingrédients frais, comme toujours dans notre cuisine. Enfin, certaines pâtes issues de régions comme le Piémont ou le sud de l’Italie peuvent sembler plus “huilées”, mais cela fait partie du style culinaire de ces territoires. Nous sommes néanmoins ravis que vous ayez apprécié le poulpe et l’amabilité du service.

Upon arrival we were welcomed and taken to a lovely table for 2. Our server was extremely friendly and nothing was too much trouble. When explaining the specials I mentioned that I was gluten free and the chef came out to go through the menu for me. This has only happened once before during my years as gluten free so I was very impressed. My husband had the pork special and I had the beef. Both were delicious and the serves were large. Unfortunately we were so full we couldn't fit dessert in :-)

We recently spent 6 weeks in Nice and have gone to Davisto at least six times. It quickly became our favorite restaurant due to the service the ambience and the great food. We even took other people there on multiple visits and it never disappointed. If there are things that need to be modified in the dish they're more than eager to remove any ingredients that you may not like or add something additional. Highly highly recommend this restaurant and we will definitely be back the next time return to Nice.

The meat was very oily and smelly. The pasta was not cooked to the right degree.
Davisto • Owner
Cher Client, Nous sommes désolés de lire votre avis, mais nous tenons à apporter quelques précisions car nous sommes en désaccord. La viande Black Angus est appréciée pour son persillage, ces fines veines de gras qui assurent tendreté et saveur. C’est une qualité, pas un défaut. Nos pâtes sont cuites al dente, selon la vraie tradition italienne, comme dans tout restaurant italien authentique. Enfin, votre critique sur le service nous étonne, car vous avez exprimé votre satisfaction, terminé vos plats et laissé un pourboire. Nous vous conseillons donc d’éviter, à l’avenir, de chercher de “vrais restaurants italiens”, car cela ne semble pas être ce qui vous convient. Cordialement, La Direction

Travelling with 3 people of Italian heritage means a stop at an italian restaurant if we can find one that is good. Davisto is not only good but great! There was a cute Amuse Busce on the table right away, followed by a terrific Chianti and 2 entres - eggplant parm the way mom makes it, and the Davisto salad - greens, heirloom tomatoes, olives, fresh homemade mozzerella and toped with a great proscuitto. Mains were Grilled branzino fillets, spaghetti vongole, and spaghetti Scoglio - little clams, mussels, calamari, shrimp topped with a large scampi! Wonderful! Desserts were Affagoto Caffe, and pisthachio ice cream, finished with a round of chilled Lemoncello. A very pleasant night!

We left with mixed feelings. The carbonara pasta was perfect. I never ate so tasty pasta. However, the pizza was not the best. Tuna on it was not fresh, maybe it was from cannes tuna. The waiters were very friendly and nice.
Davisto • Owner
. We are happy that you enjoyed our pasta carbonara and the friendly service of our waiters. Regarding tuna pizza, we would like to point out that throughout the world it is traditionally prepared using canned tuna, which is considered a common and appreciated ingredient for this type of pizza. . Nous sommes heureux que vous ayez apprécié nos pâtes carbonara et le service amical de nos serveurs. Concernant la pizza au thon, nous tenons à souligner que dans le monde entier, elle est traditionnellement préparée à partir de thon en conserve, considéré comme un ingrédient courant et apprécié pour ce type de pizza.

Loved my meal at this charming restaurant! The servers were charming and attentive without being obtrusive. A nice variety of dished on their full menu as well as a robust list of specials for the day on their tableside chalkboard menu. The chef made a point of coming out from the kitchen to visit the tables and make sure that diners were enjoying their meal. Absolutely save room for their lemon torta dessert- it's a very generous portion and absolutely delicious!

I chose this Italian restaurant because it offered speciality Italian dishes beyond pizza and it was great., just what I hoped for. My daughter had the rigatoni with basil, tomato and veal pieces. That was delicious. I enjoyed the spaghetti fruit de mare which had a lot of seafood and delicious sauce - not the usual thin marinara sauce either. The service was excellent with the waiter making great wine choices and helping with menu. The restaurant was kinda warm otherwise I would have given the atmosphere 5 stars as well.

We booked on the 30% off deal, although 23 euros for fish of the day was pretty good value to start with. There two good sized fillets which were very fresh. Got quite busy by the time we left. I suppose the only thing it would be nice to eat outside in the summer months which you can’t do here. Think we will return though as food very good!

The restaurant was exactly what we were looking for that night - a cozy Italian experience and Davisto delivered. The service was excellent , the dishes that were supposed to be served hot did not not disappoint. The only complaint was the gnocchi could have had more smoked salmon, other than that - 5 stars.

Pasta was undercooked and the price was just ridiculous for the quality of the food. Pasta was worth no more than 8 euros and you can't get anything for less than 16. Nothing wrong with the service.

Bonjour Mademoiselle, C’est un restaurant italien et fait la cuisine traditionnel Italien. Les pâtes sont « al dente ». On a vous demander plusieurs fois est-ce que tout va bien ? et vous avez dit « Yes, Everything was fantastic « vous avez dépensé 31,80€ (boisson compris) pour deux personnes. C’est très cher pour vous !!! Vous avez dit que service a été bien et vous avez noté (4/10)!!! Peut-être c’était première fois vous étiez dans un restaurant en France et première fois vous avez mangé des vrais pâtes Italiennes. Je vous conseille de continuer manger des plats qu’ils sont déjà prêt au supermarché. Merci Beaucoup (we loved your opinion)
